Stormwatchers Predict Flooding

During a storm, dam operators have to make tough decisions. In this audio report from QUEST produced by KQED, explore the impact of those decisions for the state of California. Students will discover why it’s important to predict storms and what decisions dam operators have to make when a storm approaches. Also, learn where and how water flows downstream during a large storm in one area in the state of California.
